First thing, cold morning
Sirens sounding on another dark day
Atoms explode in a scatter of light
Through love and anger blinded to stay

And when you touch me,
You paint my olive skin,
You say that the picture,
Makes you fall in love again

Bridge:
It’s time I roam alone
It’s time I roam alone

Chorus:
Home, this bird has flown
They say it’s where the heart is
But the hurt is all I’ve known
Roam, this bird has flown

You talk of change coming
But the words tell tales of repeating history
You beg like a god to the slave you’ve been keeping
Seeking forgiveness for lies you tell on your knees

And when you touch me
You think the day will soon rewind 
Cause you think that regret 
Is enough to leave it all behind 

Bridge:
But this time I roam alone
It’s time I roam alone

Chorus:
Home, this bird has flown
They say it’s where the heart is
But the hurt is all I’ve known
Roam, this bird has flown

Outro:
For every time I said goodbye
For every time I lost tears to cry
For every time I heard your promise
And didn’t see the lies

For every time I lost myself
For every time I turned back on help
For every time I kept my silence
Now’s the time to tell 
You
